Match preview
The Wolves ended the year on a high note, delivering an impressive three-match unbeaten streak in the league. Under Vítor Pereira, the team brought Christmas cheer to their fans with clean-sheet victories over Leicester (3-0) and Manchester United (2-0), as well as a spirited 2-2 draw against Tottenham.
